Tonight we lost to Spain in what for them was a walk over.
The first more obvious reason was the team sheet.
From the players in the team, I would of only had 1 or 2 players in my 11. Due to injuries the likes of Rooney, Gerrard, Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Hargreaves, Owen who would all be in my first team we struggled. Also not playing Ashley Young who is our best winger and using the likes of Beckham and Downing is really bad. Young didn't even come on, or Milner and I don't understand why when Beckham plays too deep and is just shite.
Also playing Glen Johnson, who would be my 10th choice, was suicide against arguably (other than Fabregas) Spain's strongest side.
To add to this, we had Agbonlahor and Hesky upfront, and later Crouch and Charlton Cole. To have these players as our best talent is terrible. I guess our 3 or 4 best are injured so there is some excuse but, these guys had some decent chances and didn't make the best of them. Not to blame them though, because our team let Spain attack without any pressure, and on the attack they put on masses of pressure and we folded and didn't manage to create many chances.
If Spain really wanted to they could of won this game by a bigger margin, and England need to get a fit team of better quality, and get their tactics together if we want to stand a chance against the elite teams.
